The excitement (or chaos) of Christmas has passed, spring feels miles away and there’s pressure everywhere to suddenly become a “better version” of yourself. But nature hibernates in winter, and we’re allowed to as well.\nThis fortnight’s challenge: protect your energy\nInstead of overhauling your life or setting big resolutions, this challenge invites you to notice what drains you - and make one tiny change to protect your energy.\nOver the next week or two, simply pay attention to:\nConversations that leave you feeling heavy or tense\nSituations where you say yes when you really want to say “I’ll think about it”\nTasks you take on without being asked\nTimes of day when your energy dips the most\nThen make one small adjustment\nNot a dramatic boundary overhaul, just one gentle shift. That might look like:\nResting instead of reaching for sugar when you’re tired\nLetting a call go to voicemail and replying later\nSaying a clear, unapologetic no\nBlocking out 15 minutes a day to recharge\nDeciding something is good enough rather than perfect\nWhy this matters\nThis isn’t about being selfish. It’s about recognising that your energy is valuable and finite. Midlife women give away so much of it and this challenge is about gently bringing some of it back to yourself.\nShare your success: Here's how to get in touch...\nFollow the show and get all the links you need on LinkTree - https://linktr.ee/walking_this_way\nEmail us: walkingthisway@hotmail.com\nUse the get in touch form HERE - https://tr.ee/r-ePylKE8H\nSend us a voice message HERE- https://www.speakpipe.com/WalkingThisWay\n\nProduced by The Good Studio - thegoodstudio.co.uk","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/hFSwcVxMBT1ea_hy7S91l-WN2uC4RqNAcSpeeZiIQos/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85MGMw/OTMyNWY2ODFmMzJi/YzMyNGQzNjM4ZTYw/ZGY0ZC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
